When Beauty Meets Beasts Novel - Chapter 795
795 The Worst Outcome
Not long after Huanhuan left, Bai Di left the cave too.
He arrived at Jin Nan’s residence.
Jin Nan seemed to have expected him and had already prepared fruits and dew.
“Come and sit down. We haven’t had guests in our valley in a long time. I don’t have anything good here except these fruits.”
!!
There were no tables or chairs in the cave. Bai Di lifted his clothes and sat on the ground.
“Sorry to disturb you.”
He didn’t touch the fruits in front of him. He just picked up the wooden cup and took a sip of dew.
The cup was made from hollowed-out wood. This wood had a fruity fragrance. The dew it contained also smelled sweet.
Bai Di put down his cup. “To be honest, I came to ask you something.”
Jin Nan said kindly, “Go ahead.”
Bai Di looked into his eyes and said word by word, “I want to know if Huanhuan will become like Yin Ji after inheriting the position of prophet.”
“How can they be the same? Yin Ji is Yin Ji, and Huanhuan is Huanhuan. They’re completely different people.”
“You know that’s not what I mean.”
Jin Nan picked up the clay pot and poured more dew into Bai Di’s cup. “It’s his fate that Yin Ji ended up like this,” he said slowly. “From the moment he left the valley and entered the 10,000 Beast Temple, he was destined to die for it.”
Bai Di listened quietly as he continued.
“There’s never been a benefit in this world for nothing. Becoming a prophet, being favored by the beast gods, and having supreme power… There’s a price to pay for all that.”
Bai Di frowned. “In other words, Huanhuan will pay the price in the future?”
“Of course.”
Bai Di’s heart clenched. “What price?”
Jin Nan shook his head. “No one knows.”
His gaze fell on Yin Ji, who was still unconscious. His eyes were closed, and his skin was pale.
“Yin Ji was born with a pair of eyes that could see through everything. He’s known as the Divine Eye. Every time he uses the power of the Divine Eye, he consumes a portion of his vitality. The reason why he’s been in poor health since he became a prophet is that he’s over-expending his vitality.”
Bai Di said, “Huanhuan doesn’t have divine eyes.”
“But she has the Divine Wood seed.”
“The Divine Wood can provide her with vitality. It won’t consume her vitality.”
“As I said before, there are no benefits in this world for nothing. The Divine Wood provides her with an endless stream of vitality, so the Divine Wood must receive something from her as well.”
Bai Di’s heart sank.
Jin Nan comforted him. “You don’t have to worry too much. Huanhuan is getting along well with the Divine Wood now. At this rate, she shouldn’t have any big problems in the future.”
Bai Di wanted to know the worst possible outcome.
Jin Nan was a little helpless at his persistence. “Isn’t the worst outcome already in front of you?”
Bai Di looked at the unconscious Yin Ji. This was the worst that could happen.
“I can’t accept the worst.”
“The worst outcome might not be inevitable. It’s best if you don’t interfere casually. Fate is unpredictable. The more you want to change it, the more it’ll develop in the exact opposite direction. I suggest you look past it and not be too obsessed.”
Bai Di’s fingers curled into fists.
He only had Huanhuan. If Huanhuan was gone, how could he survive?
He couldn’t get over it. He never could.
Jin Nan saw the red light in his eyes and sighed helplessly. “Rather than worrying about those illusory futures, why don’t you grasp every day you have now? Isn’t it more important to keep the person you love smiling?”
Bai Di calmed down a little. “I understand.”
“I see that you’ve already developed inner demons. Why don’t you stay here for a while and wait for the inner demons to dissipate before returning?”
Bai Di declined politely. “No, I have to send Huanhuan home myself. Otherwise, I’ll be worried.”
“In that case, I won’t force you. I hope you two can grow old together.”
…
When Huanhuan returned to their residence, Bai Di was not back yet.
Miaomiao was holding the fruits she had picked on the way. “I’m going to the pool over there to wash the fruits.”
“Shall I go with you?”
“No, it’s just a few steps. I’ll be back soon.”
Miaomiao ran out of the cave with the fruits.
Huanhuan was the only one left in the cave. She was about to sit down and rest when she suddenly heard a cry of surprise from outside the cave!
“Ah! Who are you?!”
It was Miaomiao’s cry!
Huanhuan immediately ran out of the cave and saw that Miaomiao was unconscious on the ground. Tao Wei was dragging her out.
Why was Tao Wei here?!
Before Huanhuan could think about it, she shouted, “Let her go!”
Tao Wei had sneaked into the valley with Ling Si, Huanhuan, and the others. He was overjoyed to see the valley filled with unicorns.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t catch Nightmare. With so many unicorns here, their value was far higher than Nightmare!
Tao Wei carefully disguised himself so that no one would notice his arrival. He had been following Huanhuan and the others. When he saw Huanhuan and Bai Di staying in the cave, he hid in the grass near the cave and waited for an opportunity.
He had seen Miaomiao run out alone just now. There was no one else around, so it was the best time to attack.
Tao Wei finally couldn’t take it anymore. He rushed forward and knocked Miaomiao unconscious, preparing to drag her out of the valley.
With this female unicorn, he could force her to mate with other males in the future. Then, there would be a steady stream of little unicorns. At that time, those little unicorns would be at his disposal!
Just thinking about that scene made Tao Wei’s blood boil with excitement.
Unexpectedly, Lin Huanhuan appeared!
Without looking at her, Tao Wei sped up and dragged Miaomiao out of the valley.
In any case, with Lin Huanhuan’s strength, she would definitely not be able to catch up to him!
Huanhuan did not chase after him.
She released all the butterfly flowers.
Nearly a hundred blue and purple butterfly flowers swarmed toward Tao Wei and quickly surrounded him.
Tao Wei waved his arms. “Get lost!”
The butterfly flowers pounced on his arm and bit him. His old face scrunched up in pain.
He made up his mind and took out a clay pot and smashed it on the ground.
The pot shattered into pieces, and the kerosene inside flowed to the ground.
Huanhuan smelled the smell of kerosene and cursed inwardly. This old guy was desperate!
“Clement! Eat him!”
He darted toward Tao Wei like a bolt of lightning.
“Hiss~”
Although this piece of meat looked a little old, it didn’t matter. It could help him grind his teeth!
Tao Wei took out a flint and quickly struck out sparks.
Sparks landed on the ground and quickly burned!
Clement was slithering too fast and did not stop in time. He hissed due to the flames.
